Two indicted in robbery, attack in East Memphis

Two men were indicted today in the rape and robbery of a Chickasaw Gardens-area woman in May.

Elroy Cobbins, 30, and Marchello Hurst, 24, were charged with sexually assaulting the woman at gunpoint after following her and her 12-year-old son into their home near Central and Goodwyn on May 11.

Cobbins, who is being held on $500,000 bond, was charged with two counts of aggravated robbery, aggravated rape and aggravated burglary.

Hurst, who is being held on $300,000 bond, was charged with aggravated robbery and aggravated burglary.

"This crime is one more example of senseless, unacceptable violence in our community," Dist. Atty. Gen. Bill Gibbons said in a press release. "We will do everything we reasonably can under our state laws to hold those responsible accountable,"
